On this episode of Perpetual Notion Machine, Emily Morris talks to popular science author Mary Roach. Her new book is Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law. We talk about how to be a good animal neighbor, counting animals with their poop, the agencies responsible for wildlife management, and why it wouldn’t be so bad to be your own scarecrow.

Mary will be discussing her book with Josh Foer online at the Wisconsin Book Festival Sunday, October 24, 2021 at 11am CT.
